I am very certain that I will not be staying with BreastScreen WA as I have discovered that in WA, albeit in Perth, there are imaging services offering 3D mammograms with bulk billing for seniors with a doctor's referral. Well that is easy to get and it is necessary for me to travel to Perth for current followup care.
I now know that my last mammogram in August this year (year 2) was a 2D!
I am now seriously considering of leaving the public hospital system and finding a private breast specialist who bulk bills and who will support my decision in requesting 3D mammograms. Can't be too hard.
I will be proactive in my breast care and decide what is best for me.
